Rare Treet Platinum Packaging

Rapid · Tuesday February 11, 2020

Hi All,

Long time no shave. After investing in some kit after getting some fantastic help here to get started, a couple of young children later and I never managed to get into DE shaving. I didn't want to rush and never found the time to master it all. Anyway....I'm thinking of giving it another bash, I've read all my old research so I'm feeling motivated again!

I have a starter pack so I'll give a few different blades a try but after randomly looking through some blades I came across this packaging for Treet Platinums:

This is obviously different to the norm and I haven't seen this packaging before. Wondering if anyone happens to know what this is all about? Different version? Manufactured in a different country? etc.

Thanks.

A quick glance through Google images has me thinking it's the same blade but older packaging.

Exactly what I thought so I asked the seller, their reply was that it's new stock. I'm not entirely convinced of their honesty....

I think there are two different sets of pack artwork as one is for ones with 5 blades, and the other 10 blades.

I've only used the one from the 5 pack so I can't tell you whether it is the same blade or not, I presume they are both the same blade in both the 5 & 10 blade packs.

5 blades (from Connaught)

10 blades

That's funny if it's as simple as 5 or 10 blade packs

Thanks man.

Edit: I can confirm that seller is selling in packs of 10. Looks like this one is solved!

It's a good blade as well. I like most of all the Treet blades I have tried.

I'd replace the word 'guru' with 'addict'.

I really need to stop.

I can't stop.

Got to hold enough stock that if they stop production , 4 generations of your family can shave safe in the knowledge they have enough blades.

I don't even have kids, but if I did procreate it'd be to have this following conversation.

'Son. You may have noticed my cheeks are majestically chubby and smooth.'
'Yes. Dad.'
'I won't be on this earth forever and I have many, many blades to keep my cheeks smooth and when I am gone you must finish using all the many blades I have acquired, the Russian ones, the Indian ones, the carbon steel ones. You must continue the family tradition of having delightfully chubby and smooth cheeks.'
'But Dad. My cheeks are already chubby and smooth. I'm only 3 years old.'
